Not really.
The only one is the common "how old actually is Adu?" that Sean Wheelock (who I believe commentates MLS games on FOX Soccer Channel) usually mentions during the World Football Phone-in when his name is mentioned in a listeners' question.

AZ v Roda

The first game to kick off in 2007 at 1:45pm central european time is

Thank you.

On a different note, I was in Australia for the 1999-2000 millennium, and the AFL (Aussie rules) held an exhibition game between two of their historic teams, Carlton and Collingwood, in the evening on New Year's Eve 1999, for the last game in the 2nd millennia.

My word for it did begin with P but wasn't pathetic , I remember years ago Wigan played Torquay at Springfield Park and it rained non stop all day, no joke there were puddles on the field that young kids could have swam in, at the time I used to collect all the players autographs on the programme and ended up with a soggy mess of paper, end of the game I left the ground without a dry piece of clothing on my body all I can say is todays footballers = girlies.

PS Still have that soggy mess, well dry mess by now

I think theres an NFL game tomorrow on Sky isn't there that will be taking place when the clock strikes midnight, I think I'm right in saying I've watched an NFL game before at midnight on New Years Eve.

Yes the late Sky game is Atlanta at Philadelphia.

The early game looks better though - New England at Tennessee. Even though I'm a Patriots fan, I'd love to see Vince Young light it up again.


Then later on five it is the SNF game - Green Bay at Chicago.

You have to be gutted for Millwall, 68 minutes played your near the bottom of the league and your winning away against one of your relegation rivals and the game gets abandoned.

Forgot about the game on 5, beats having to put up with $%&*^% Jools Holland or some of the other %^$£ the other channels put on. Although hopefully any game will be better than that £$%^ the Dolphins and Jets put up the other night.

I haven't seen any pictures of that one yet. But remember the Burnley/Liverpool League Cup match from 2005? That had just a strip of water about four feet wide along one touchline and it was still postponed. :shrug:


I found this from a Greek league match between Iraklis and Olympiacos - http://www.greeksoccer.com/forums/up...10_1525926.wmv

And for me at least the Bears have #54.




And putting my bias aside it could be Favre's last game as well, so it's got to be worth a watch (or tape in my case ).

Just turned it over to watch Shackleton on More 4, good job they weren't softies back in Shackletons time or they'd never have got anywhere. Could you imgaine Shackleton saying "It's raining a bit hard lets go home".

Being a Packers fan I hope he takes them apart, think he'll comeback next season but because of the times I work it could be the last if not one of the last times I get to see him.

Leigh RMI were supposed to play Lancaster City away today but the game was postponed, at the moment they are on a 5 game unbeaten run which consists of 4 wins (All in the league) and 1 draw (Draw was in the FA Trophy) they sit in 17th place 4 points above the relegation zone and 10 points away from the play off spots, they do have games in hand on 11 teams above them.

Never really having done much editing in FM is it easy to set up a fictional country and leagues like say in OOTP ?

No, it's impossible to do (except for changing an existing country/league).

If say I edited Greece or Belarus which only have two leagues in that country could I add up to say 4 more leagues or would I have to edit a country which had 6 leagues in it say England.

No, you can't add divisions to a league. However many are in the game are hard-coded into the game.

Oneday games companies will actually think about the people who buy the games rather than just bring out a game that they want.
